Irvin conveyed his unhappiness even before Ft. Worth's KXAS-TV began airing its hidden-camera footage of him discussing cocaine buys and use with Dennis Pedini, an associate and former security installer and Dallas Cowboys employee.

Meanwhile, KXAS reported that Mike Gillett, assistant Dallas County district attorney, told the station that he planned to subpoena its materials for review by a grand jury.

Clancy said the television report adds to the exasperation Irvin has felt since the March 4 drug bust led to his April 1 indictment. His trial is June 24. Irvin also recently was accused of assaulting a man outside a sports bar.
